Ratzan Weissman & Boldt, Fort Myers, FL Videos

Congratulations to RWB Partner Stuart Weissman for successfully completing his esophageal cancer treatment! We could not be prouder to see him ring the bell, not only for himself but in honor of all of those out there who did not get a chance to ring their own bell. Through this journey, we’ve laughed, cried, and prayed that we would arrive at the day when Stu has no evidence of cancer in his body. While today’s fight has been won, it is never truly over. #GoBlueGoStu and thank you to our friends, colleagues, and peers who have supported Stu along the way, as well as the team at University of Miami Sylvester Cancer Center. Please join us in continuing to honor Stu through supporting ECAN, the Esophageal Cancer Action Network, for their mission of saving lives.💙 https://ecan.org/

#RWB Client Testimonial
In 2017, #RWB attorneys Kimberly Boldt, Mario Giommoni, Stuart Ratzan, and Stuart Weissman secured a $46.5 million #verdict on behalf of a family whose child suffered from #Kernicterus, a rare kind of preventable brain damage that happens in newborns as they are left untreated for #jaundice. About 60% percent of babies are born with jaundice, which results in a yellow tint in a child's skin and the whites of their eyes. Usually, the condition resolves itself or can be treated by placing the baby under ultraviolet light. In this case, the child had #jaundice, but she was sent home. Without treatment, bilirubin continued to build in her bloodstream until it broke the barrier of her brain and stained the area that controls physical movements. "Newborn babies need and deserve competent medical care in all of the United States, whether it’s Ouachita County, Arkansas, or Miami, Florida, or anywhere else," says RWB Partner Stuart Razan.

The Ins and Outs of Commercial Litigation
When business disputes arise, #RWB's goal is to resolve the matter as quickly, cost-effectively, and efficiently as possible. So, what exactly does #commercial litigation entail? Commercial litigation, which is also called #business litigation, is a branch of #law that handles various business disputes, such as #contractual disputes, disagreements over partnerships and joint ventures, class actions, business torts, and more. While businesses file suit in #commerciallitigation, individuals file suit in #civil litigation to enforce their legal rights and demand compensation from defendants. Because more parties are involved, #commercial litigation cases are more challenging than simple lawsuits. RWB attorneys thoroughly understand business #tort laws in #Florida and assist clients in negotiating and navigating the legal system to achieve their desired outcomes. Our most recent blog dives into the common types of commercial disputes, the difference between commercial and civil litigation, and more: https://bit.ly/3EBt8s6

What Makes a Strong Car Wreck Case?
To receive the fairest compensation you deserve, it is important to follow a specific process when filing a claim after a car wreck. While these lawsuits can appear straightforward at first glance, the excessive damages and resulting trauma that result from injuries can make them extremely complex. #RWB is here to help guide victims during this difficult time, work to create accountability, and enforce safety rules.

Road Wars
Over the years, driving in #SouthFlorida has only become more expensive and dangerous. In a recent article by @FortLauderdaleMagazine, Stuart Ratzan discusses the dangers of lane diving and the importance of doing things safety when it comes to highway construction. #RWB represented the father whose 10-year-old son was killed and wife severely brain injured as a result of a highway construction wreck involving lane diving. In another fatal highway construction accident, RWB represented the family of a medical student who was killed on I-75 when a tractor trailer hauling concrete barriers pulled out of the median in a construction zone, blocking all lanes of traffic and causing a multi-car pile-up. “The people in charge have to own their charge and it comes with a great privilege, which is tens of millions of dollars in state money to build a highway, but it comes with an obligation to do it safely,” says Ratzan.
